As we see, let's transition into the seals, because that's really where we want to go today,

is looking at the seals. You have a book, which is great, the seals, a panoramic view of the

first half of the Seventh-year Tribulation, and you have, of course, the beast human system seeking

its desire to rule and reign and whatever, But then you also have God coming in and bringing

judgment on the world during this period. The rapture has happened. And the, let's give a little

background for the seals and the, the book Revelation as it relates to chapters four and five you have the throne

room you have that the you have the church church chapter two and three you have the 24 elders

in chapter four you have this throne room scene you have you know jesus opening getting the

scroll and getting ready to open the seals and then we get to chapter six verse one and i'll just read this

and then let's comment on it now i watched when the lamb opened one of the seven seals and i heard one of the

four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, come.

And then before we get to the white horse, just here in verse one, why do you think John,

and what's important about the lamb being the one who opens the seven seals and then,

of course, being involved with a living creature.

Well, what's important is it's observing contextually what the scripture says.

The Bible is the one that's supposed to tell us speak out exegesis what God intends for us to

believe and understand.

Isogesis is where people read into the text, a preconceived idea, and then that's when they, I call it the game, the dance, whatever you want to call it. They just go start twisting scripture because they don't let the scripture speak out to them. They got something already inside their mind and then they go hunt for verses to try to support that. And the reason why the lamb, the importance is there, why it says,

and it's the lamb opening this, because there's people have a preconceived idea when it comes to revelation, including the rapture of the church, that they have a preconceived idea that the church has to be in this time frame, the seven-year tribulation. Could be the mid-tribbers, that the church is there all the way up to the midway point. You got the pre-rathters from our chronology timescale. That would be about three-fourths of the seven-year tribulation or the post-tribbers saying you're there the whole time. And so, wait, let me, and you have one other group, which is claims that, no, no, we're pre-tribbers, but we start the tribulation after the sixth seal so you

add that one in there too and so the church would that's consistent and they they all those groups

you just mentioned is that the church is here during the five seals and I just had an email this

morning a guy writing that he's discovered you know the truth like, oh, yeah, the church is going to be
